We all know that during sieges it isn't JUST Orcs and Goblins, Occasionally Humans, Elves, and even other Dwarfs will "join up" with the evil mass to attack.. So this go me thinking, what with carvans coming and going,  How could one mod it to let others "Join" your fortress? Could there be a mod to this at start? Maybe add points to have an 8th 9th etc person from a different civ?

Or perhaps theres a way to "Befriend"
 sdomeone as they visit from a caravan? Something under interaction that would let you ask someone to join you?

I only think

Unfortunately that's entirely hardcoded.  Some attempts have been made to have a civilization of multiple species, or to play as a civ that kidnaps, but these either cause crashes or simply don't work due to how immigrants are coded.  It is possible, incidentally, to receive a king/queen of another race.  They don't work correctly, though.

A utility could try to change the race of one of your dwarves already in game.  I'm not sure how well that works, or if it even changes anything outside of their racial name.

Doesn't seem doable with simple mods alone. The source code likely would need to be changed.

I was actually thinking of suggesting a way to make "hotel" rooms from beds, which would allow visitors of any race to stay in your fort if they choose, but I don't think it's all that great a feature anyway.

Hmmm, if theres no way to cod different races to become a part of your fortress, are thereother ways to have them show up and "Hang around"
